March Break 2025 applications are now open.

First round consideration will be given to applications received by Sunday January 19, 2025.

To submit a March Break volunteer application:

Step 1: References

To submit the application, you must upload your completed references at the time of applying or follow the instructions for Confidential References below.

Reference Requirements
  • Please provide the reference form to two professional references. Employment and/or volunteer references are preferred. Should you not have employment or volunteer references, we will consider teachers, professors, coaches, aquatic leadership instructors, community leaders, or other professional references. 
  • Your references should be able to answer questions about your ability to provide direct support to programs and services for children and youth with disabilities.

  • If you are retired or have been outside of the work force for some time, it is acceptable to submit former professionally-related references or references from part-time work or volunteering that you have recently participated in, such as at-home child care for your neighbours or volunteering in community centre activities.
  • Your references should return the completed forms to you. An electronic copy of the completed forms will need to be included in your application. Please ensure that if you receive any paper copies from your references, that they are converted to an electronic copy to attach with your application.
References that do not meet acceptance criteria
  • Family members, friends, and/or friends of the family may not provide references.
Confidential References
  • Should your reference prefer, or be required, to submit their completed reference to us confidentially, please have them email the document to us at volunteers@hollandblooriew.ca.
  • If this process is selected, please upload a blank document with the header Reference Submitted Confidentially.
